Rapid Step Returns in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round

Back in 2012, we reported on a new technique discovered in the then recently-released Dead or Alive 5. Dubbed “rapid step,” it allowed players to quickly dash away from their opponent while still blocking.

While this was eventually patched out of the game, the glitch seems to have reared its head again in the PC version of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round. As the video below demonstrates, certain characters (such as Brad Wong, Jann Lee, and Christie) get more out of it than others.

Considering that it only appears on one platform, this is most likely an oversight by the team heading up the port and will likely be patched out soon.
